I recently purchased a Sankyo Sound-700 Projector and a Star Wars - Super 8 400ft Sound reel (UK Print?).

I got the projector for $140. Good deal, good projector? The projector is in good working condition. I would like to find an original power plug for it, the one I have is not original and kind of loose. Any suggestions?

I am curious as to how large a cast Super 8 projectors typically make.

I'm new to this world, any advice?

Hi Jason

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!

That is a good price for your projector. They are good machines. As far as the cord, someone here in the forum may see your post and have one. Your going to enjoy this hobby. We need people like you to keep it going.

Welcome and may you enjoy many a screening! I should hope that your STAR WARS print is an unfaded copy. They are to find unfaded.

Thanks guys.

I will have to see about the SW print, it is coming in from the UK as I type this. I hope it's not faded as well.

I just found a Bell and Howell 2592 16mm proj as well. I'm looking to sell it if anybody has any offers.
